In the form of an interview with CORE
spondent of the New York Herald, Gen.
Phil Sheridan gives his views in regard to
coast defense, and how it could be accom-
plished. He favors system of defense by
which guns aud men will be concealed and no
visible target presented to the enemy. He
says he has had the idea in his mind for TWEEN
ty years, having first applied it fighting the
Indians, when he had his men protect the
stations on the Pacific railroad, by digging
square pits in the ground, with covered way
to shoot FROM and it was found to be an ex.
celen: device. This idea has developed a
process of mental evolution into an elaborate
plan of coast defense, including sunken en-
placements for disappearing ordinance to be
worked by pneumatic or electrical machinery,
and many other interesting details. The
General says he has given the subject much
thought, and is satisfied that his theories are
correct and can be successfully applied

HOUSE bill No 109 to provide for live
stock sanitary comm ission and State veter-
marian, and to prescribe their powers and du-
ties, has been ordered engrossed. 1t is an i'm
portant measure, intended to protect the live
stock interests of the State. 1t was intro
duced by Judge Buckles, of Delaware county,
himself livestock and had The sup
port of leading stockmen and farmers through
out the State. The bill provides for the ap-
pointment by the Governor Of three commits
sioners, who shall be practical agriculturists
and identified with the livestock interests of
the State, and who shall be known as the
Estate Livestock Sanitary Commission.
The commission shall appoint competent
State veterinarian. Their duties relate to the
prevention and suppression Of contagious and
infectious diseases among live stock, and they
are clothed with full power to act in the prem
Uses. Such measure is demanded by the live
stock interests, and the pending bill, if in
| proper form as to details ought to pass.

THE Philadelphia Record, though Demo
cratic paper, usually shows disposition to be
fair in its judgments; but when it places the
unseating of Mcdonald and that of Meagher,
and tie seating of their opponents under the
same category it forfeits its reputation in that
respect, and also demonstrates that it has not
read the Journal with proper care. Had it
done so it would have known that there was
nothing illegal or unjust in the rulings in
the Meagher case; that he was given, and
used, ample opportunSsy FOR defense, and that
the question of bribery did not enter into the
contest at all Ordinarily it is not worth
while to correct Democratic misstatements,
but in this instance it seems worth while to

No apology is needed for the space occupied
in this issue Of the Journal by the report of
the argument of Senator Harrison before the
Supreme Court yesterday afternoon. By all
who heard it, Democrats as we'll as Republic
ans, it was agreed to be one of the finest legal
arguments ever made in that court 1t dis
cusses the entire question presented by the
case at bar, and particularly does it emphasize
the fundamental and vital interdependence of
the coordinate branches of our system
of government which is so seriously
threatened by the proposition that
the judiciary can, practically, control not only
the executive, but the legislative branch as
WELL Senator Harrison brushes away the
paltry bubble that, because the question is
presumed to be whether the election for Lieu
tenant-governor was held at the proper time,
it is, therefore, not Contested election, and
can be taken out of the jurisdiction
of the General Assembly. If upon question of
an improper time, why not upon any other
question, except some narrow construction
of the word Contested that the court may
see fit to maker Suppose there should be a
contest of members seat in the General AS
sembly upon the question that the election
by which the sitting member claimed was not
held at the proper time, there bel ng no vacan-
cy-as might readily arise in the case
of Senator Mcdonald, of Whitley, for
instance-would any man in his senses say
that such a question could be taken into the
courts when the Constitution has made each
house the judge of the election and qualifca-
| tons of its own me1nbersG The idea is pre-
posterous. Why, then, with reference to an
election for Governor or Lieutenant gov
ernor upon similar question, when
the Constitution has reserved specif-
cally the decision of the election of those
officers to the General Assembly, There
| can be no more wild and dangerous
position assumed, that for any reason
or under any possible circumstances, the jul
dicial authority can determine upon the cleo
ton of o Governor or Lieutenant governor
If that can be done, then goodbye to the three
coordinate departments, and we have what
Jefferson called the tyranny of the Supreme
Court.

The Two Leading Candidates for United States
Senator Speak in Behalf of the Contest
ants for Lieutenant Gov ernor.
Gen. Harrison's Argument One Of the
Greatest.Ever Heard in the State.
Full Text Of His Presentation of the Law and
Facts Bearing Upon the Questions
Involved in the Case.

The interest in the argument of the lieuten-
ant-governorship case before the Supreme Court
yesterday was intensified by the fact the speak
ers are the two leading candidates for United
States Senator, and desire to hear their pre-
sentation Of a case of much political Importance
attracted to the courtroom many more people
than could gain admittance Every inch of avail
able space in the room was occupied and eager
listeners being about the door and in the hall.
Judge Turpie's speech in the morning covered
about the same ground that he went over in
arguing the case in the lower court No new
point was made. Senator Harrison's argu-
ment in the afternoon was frequently inter
rupted by interrogatories from Justices
Mitchell and collars, all of which were readily
and fully answered. At the end of the two
hours allotted him, the court offered to extend
his time, owing to the Interruptions, but the
speaker declined to avail himself Of the offer
thanking the judges for the patience and atten
tiveness with which he had been heard
Several times he was interrupted by applause
from the listeners, and the argument was gen
orally pronounced by those who heard it as the
greatest ever delivered in the State It was es
pecaly astonishing to lawyers, from the fac
that there had been little time for preparation

THE present week has been an interesting
one to the livestock breeders of Indiana, no
less than five State associations holding their
annual conventions in this city. These asso-
citations, in the order Of their assembling, are
the sheep breeders, the short horn cattle
breeders, swine breeders, trotting and pacing
horses, and Jersey cattle-breeders They have
been attended by representative farmers and
breeders from different parts Of the State,
sach interest being much more numerously
represented that at any former meeting.
Many valuable papers have been read, and the
discussions of practical topics by practical men
have been interesting and instructive. This
activity among livestock breeders is sign OF
healthy progress. The interests they repre-.
sent are of enormous pecuniary value, and
their proper development enters largely into
the general prosperity of the Commonwealth
md in fixing its rank and place among the
;isterhood of States. Indiana is essentially an
agricultural State, and always will be. Gu,

A DECISION by the Supreme Court, yester-
day, recalls the frequency with which tele-
graph companies escape the statutory penalty
Of 800 for neglect in transmitting messages.
The act of 1885, which superseded previous
legislation, singularly omitted to make neg
lect a ground of liability, as is found in the
previous statute; and the court, under the
rule that penal statutes should be strictly
construed, decides in favor of the companies
The clause, if the companies are to be held to
this liability, should be restored.
